AFC is halfway through a 100-day plan to improve sales and address company performance. The parent of Popeyes, Church's Chicken and Cinnabon has yet to file its restatements and financial statement audits for 2000 through 2002 and for the first two quarters of 2003. Last month, the company was delisted from the Nasdaq National Market for failing to file those statements. AFC also forecasted full-year 2003 domestic comparable store sales to be down 1.5% to 2.5% for Popeyes.
